Located inside the Goodwill Opportunity Center. The food is excellent, but takes a little while, so best to order online beforehand if possible.
I just happened upon this gem and let me tell you the aroma alone is enough to lure you right through the doors. I tried the Oxtail burrito and it was not only huge, but had such a great flavor! I'll for sure stop in to try something else soon as their menu has so many delicious looking options.
Visiting from Ohio. Very close and convenient near the airport. The food and the service is exceptional. Everything was fresh and hot. The catfish is a must try. Highly recommend!
Stopped by the Goodwill and smelled an appetizing aroma. Went in for a look and quick bite. Plenty of tables inside and outside. Ordered BK of the Day wings, fries, macaroni and cheese, and banana pudding. Everything was delicious! Wings were juicy and some of the best wings we've ever had. Mac-n-cheese was so good Um going to order some for Thanksgiving. Staff said they do music on Thursdays and they have a food truck. We will definitely be back and be on the lookout for the food truck!
We drove a little under 2 hours to get to this place. It was well worth it. The food here is absolutely delicious! The waffles are very tasty and you can actually taste all the ingredients in the waffle. The waffles are light and fluffy. There were four of us and everyone loved all their food. The church punch and pink passion drinks are very good. The service is good and the owner is very polite and cares about his customers. He told us he will soon be offering various events through the week and expanding the menu. Also, just so you know he said they do serve oxtails and jerk chicken. So be sure to ask about it. My friends and I plan to return to this place soon.
Attached to the Goodwill Opportunity Campus (which is a great community asset itself). Giant parking lot with lots of free parking. Got the smashburger with fries; fries were fine, burger was very good. Also tried the jerk fried chicken sandwich which was messy but delicious with a side of mac & cheese. The mac & cheese was some of the best I've had recently (and m&c is one of my favorite foods, so I try it everywhere!) Also had the fried peach pie which definitely seemed homemade and was also messy but delicious. Really good food at fair prices with friendly service. Highly recommend for lunch if you're out near the airport.
Hey everyone! I just had to share my experience at this fantastic spot I stumbled upon while traveling. I was truly impressed by their delicious food and the overall quality. If you're in Charlotte, North Carolina, you absolutely have to check out this place! It’s one of the best spots for soul food around. Trust me, you won’t regret it—go enjoy some amazing soul food at this awesome place!
I first found this gem in the Wal-Mart in Indian Land. They have since moved to the current location in Charlotte. I was drilling near the airport and took the opportunity to grab some lunch. I ordered the Oxtail burrito, yes you read that correctly, an OXTAIL BURRITO, and that thing slapped! Plentiful Oxtail meat, seasoned yellow rice, creamy Mac-n-cheese, and plantains combine to create one of the best burritos I have had in my life! The itis was definitely coming for me after struggling to finish the massive taste bomb. Don’t walk to this spot, run to it! Customer service was awesome as well. Family run business and you can tell! I give it a 49/10!
